    Can i Use the same code for HM version  12 too?

    Is there a code to open file(.inp) location via directories specified by the user? (to take in the directory as a string and pass it on to a pointer to locate it)

    Also how to enter the contents (node co ordintes, distances, and angle) into a excel sheet, whose directory is given by the user(as it changes time to time)?

    Yes, the code is available in HM12 also

    To open/import file, you delete .../documents/command.cmf

    import the file by menu File>Import

    then turn back to open command.cmf (by notepad for example), you will see relevant commands

     

    to put the contents into excel sheet, you can write it to a csv file , please refer to tcl manual online for commands: open, puts, join, close.

    Sample codes appear on web very much, you can find
